An Apex Legends player has stumbled upon a fresh Easter Egg featuring the lovable plushie, Nessie. This cryptic find potentially hints at forthcoming content in Season 21 of Apex Legends.

Nessie has been a recurring Easter Egg in games by Respawn Entertainment for the past decade. The small plesiosaur first made its appearance in the original Titanfall, inspired by a fan's observation that an image in one of the game maps resembled the legendary Loch Ness Monster. Since then, Nessie has been a staple in various games, with Respawn Entertainment weaving Nessie's story into the lore of Apex Legends and Titanfall's shared universe. Many of the plushies hidden in the free-to-play battle royale are confirmed to be Wattson's childhood toys, relics from her upbringing in King's Canyon. Nessie continues to surprise players by appearing in unexpected places, including the popular April Fool's events in Apex Legends.

From massive hidden sea creatures to unique victory podium takeovers, Nessie has taken many forms in Apex Legends. However, a recent discovery by a player unveils a new Nessie Easter Egg, raising more questions than answers. Creator @kralrindo shared their enigmatic find of a hidden Nessie in the game's Firing Range, discretely positioned behind the spawn point on the map. Upon picking it up, the oversized plushie bears an intriguing description: "It's Nessie? A peculiar Nessie. It seems out of this world."

Decoding the Mystery of the Hidden Nessie

This finding could hint at Nessie being an extraterrestrial visitor, or perhaps originating from a parallel dimension. Adding to the intrigue, the player tosses it through one of Wraith's dimensional rift portals. Instead of Nessie, a small collectible tile emerges from the portal, resembling a piece from the Chinese board game Mahjong. Speculation arises that this might be a nod to Alter, a new character with rift-based abilities rumored to join Apex Legends in Season 21, possibly with Chinese heritage, as per leaked data.

Enthusiastic fans can anticipate unraveling this mystery as Apex Legends Season 21 kicks off on May 7, introducing a fresh map, a 110-tier Battle Pass, and the new legend. Ahead of the season launch, on April 23, players can engage in the Urban Assault event in Apex Legends. They can dive into the fan-favorite Three Strikes game mode and compete in the new Apex Rumble mode to secure limited-time cosmetics, including Octane's exclusive "Apex Riptide" Prestige Skin.
